Dr. Laura Trice, the CEO of Laura’s Wholesome Junk
Food based in Venice, California, started baking cookies
at a very young age at her Grandmother’s farm in
Massachusetts.
Laura received her B.A. from Smith College with a
double major in Chemistry and French Language & Literature. She received her M.D. from the
University of Vermont’s College of Medicine. As a medical student, Laura, who was training at
Maine Medical Center in her home town of Portland, Maine, was mentored by Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women’s Body’s, Women’s
Wisdom, as well as Bethany Hays, M.D., and other
holistic practitioners.
She also spent time at the Poland Spring Health Institute,
assisting in Primary Care, and at Healthy Mother Healthy
Baby Midwifery clinic in Nyuh Kuhning, Bali. Laura
trained in Chicago and up-state New York and received
honors in Psychiatry, Endocrinology, Family Practice,
Community Medicine and Medical Education.
Like every other college student, she loved “junk food.â€
As a result of coming from a nutritionally conscientious
home and having traveled around the world, she tried a variety of diets available looking for
what provided her body with the best fuel and used interesting flavors she had tasted while
abroad. During this time, Laura realized that most cookies available seemed to be either good for you (but not taste very good) or they tasted great (but were based in white flour, white sugar and hydrogenated oils). She began creating recipes that tasted as good or better than any treats out there, but used whole grains and whole sweeteners.
This passion for healthy and great tasting food led to
Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food, est. 2001. As the lead
formulator of Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food, Dr. Laura
is committed to creating flavorful and satisfying food that
she is comfortable eating herself and sharing with friends
and family.
In addition to her love of delicious foods, she utilized her love of writing and mind/body health knowledge to
develop Writing in Recovery,, ,
a system that combines creative writing, musical expression, public
speaking, and 12-step based therapeutic writing
techniques. Her sessions also incorporate the teachings
of well-known metaphysical and mind-body experts such
as Louise Hay, Florence Scovel Schinn, Deepak Chopra, and Stuart Wilde.
A published writer herself, Dr. Trice is building a reputation as addiction and self-help speaker using creative outlets such as writing and music, as a path to augment personal transformation.
Laura has facilitated writing programs with medical students,private and academic groups on both coasts. Since 2002, Dr. Trice has been affiliated with Promises, a recovery center based in Malibu and West Los Angeles. Due to client response, Writing in Recovery,, can now be found in Promises' Residential Programs (West Los Angeles & Malibu), Malibu Extended Care, Staff Trainings, and individual referral programs. Her program was honored by Smith College and has received Federal recognition by FCI Terminal Island.
Laura currently resides in Venice, California and enjoys
gymnastics (she’s working on handstands and front hand springs right now), bicycling, and volleyball—when she can find the time!
